NORFOLK, Va. — Playing without injured center Amanda Hairston, Bethune-Cookman was overmatched under the basket and fell to Delaware State 55-44 on Tuesday in the first round of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference women's basketball tournament at Norfolk Scope Arena.
The Wildcats' season ended at 12-17, while the Hornets (10-20) move on to meet top-seeded and three-time defending tournament champ Hampton in a quarterfinal at noon Wednesday.
“I thought our ladies played hard,'' B-CU coach Vanessa Blair said. “The plan was to pack it in and not give up a lot of paint points. We came up short in that regard. A lot of second-chance opportunities really killed us.”
The Hornets scored 22 points off offensive rebounds and outrebounded the Wildcats 40-27. Hairston was injured March 2 against Norfolk State.
“We really didn't have that post player step up and give us what Amanda Hairston gave us,'' Blair said.
